Prashant Kishor's swipe at BJP after Bankipur bypoll candidate withdraws: ‘Running away out of fear of losing’
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Abhishek Kumar Sinha withdrew his nomination for the Bankipur Assembly bypoll, citing family reasons, marking the first such withdrawal by a BJP candidate. Prashant Kishor criticized the BJP, stating that candidates typically withdraw due to fear of the party, suggesting a shift in dynamics. Following Sinha's exit, the BJP named Neeraj Kumar Sinha as its new candidate, who expressed confidence in securing the seat.
